Discovery performance metrics

Discovery metrics, available
to view
on
the
Performance homepage, measure the performance of the probes and sensors in your instance as they
collect information about
configuration
items
(CIs)
in the
network.

Note: Functionality described here requires the Discovery
plugin.

Users
with the admin role can review performance metrics.

To view Discovery metrics
on
the
Performance
homepage, select Discovery in the Graph Set list, an instance in
the Monitorable Items list, and a time period in the
Timespan list.

For details on using the graph and display controls
on
the
Performance
homepage, see Performance metrics.

The available measurements to apply are
Count,
Maximum, Mean, Median,
and Minimum. All times in these graphs are measured in
milliseconds.

Discovery
Probe Run Time:
Indicates
elapsed
time, in milliseconds, that probes take to run. Use this chart to check the performance of
your MID Server. Slow run times can indicate a resource problem on the MID Server
machine.

Discovery Sensor Queue Time: Indicates how long a sensor task
sits in the scheduler queue on the instance before it runs.

Discovery Sensor Run Time: Measures how long a sensor task takes
to run after it is started.
